VJ Edgecombe is considered a top-five recruit by most major recruiting sights as an undoubtable five-star prospect. As a bigger guard, look for Edgecombe to be the next Keyonte George or Ja'Kobe Walter as a bigger guard freshman in Scott Drew's system.

Norchad Omier led Miami averaging a double-double last season. Omier was one of the best transfers in the portal, but his numbers will most likely dip because of how stacked Baylor's roster is and how guard-favorable Coach Drew's system has been.
